Abstract: This paper outlines the design and development of a smart greenhouse for monitoring propagated Philodendron billietiae through stem cuttings. The prototype was able to cultivate the plant inside the greenhouse successfully. The sample Philodendrons were separated into two groups, one group was grown inside the greenhouse while the other was grown outside the greenhouse. Ensuring that the both of them were properly taken care of by abiding the parameters researched. The Philodendra were observed for 56 days, 14 days per 4 pots, totalling to 16 pots per group. The average growth rate of stem height, leaf length, and leaf width was then compared through independent t-test. The greenhouse is connected to an IoT app for further monitoring of its humidity and temperature.

Keywords: smart greenhouse; Philodendron billietiae; IoT; humidity; temperature.
